MC 16 and Olive4HD DLNA server

(1/4) > >>

rouquemoute:
Hi all,

I'm a newbie here, so please don't fire at me if this question has been answered elsewhere.
I checked the FAQ but couldn't find anything useful for my problem.

I have an issue with MC16 accessing audio files from my Olive 4HD (http://www.olive.us/products/music_servers/olive4hd/overview.html).
The Olive4HD acts as a UpnP/DLNA media server on my home network. It has more than 700 albums (7000 FLAC encoded tracks) stored in it.

MC16 is able to see the Olive4HD as both an audio renderer and an DLNA audio library server.
However MC is only listing the first 64 tracks stored on the Olive, and not the entire audio library.
Those 64 visible tracks play fine on MC 16.
It's just that MC doesn't list all the files, as if there was a hard-coded limit (64 tracks) in the numbers of files the Olive4HD can share.

I tried with XMBC and it doesn't have any problems retrieving the entire library from the Olive.
From XMBC I can see all my albums and files.
So there has to be something in MC16 that's not right.

Is there a know issue in that regard?
Is there a way to force MC16 re-populate the audio library from the Olive4HD DLNA server content?

Thanks & Cheers,
Rouq

Welcome to the forum.  It may require one or more of the advanced settings in MC's DLNA.

Try using MC as the renderer until you get that going.  Just use the Olive as a server.

Thanks for the reply but I'm not sure I 100% got it.

I'm indeed trying to use the Olive as a server.
And MC16 indeed recognizes it as a DLNA media server.
But the problem is that MC16 isn't able to list all the albums and tracks that are on the Olive.
It lists only 64 tracks but there are more than 7000 tracks available!

What are the advanced DLNA settings that can be tweaked on MC16?
Is there a way to somehow force MC16 to re-visit the Olive audio content?

Thanks & Cheers,
Rouq

JimH:
Is playback working on MC?  Or are you playing to the Olive?

rouquemoute:
For the 64 tracks that I can see, playback on MC works fine.
